Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that congressional opposition to the American Jobs Act is akin to the Confederate “states in rebellion.”

Jackson called for full government employment of the 15 million unemployed…

I suspect he wants them to assume a occupation in type-setting perhaps?

Anyway, so yeah. Jesse wants the government to just hire the 15 million people. And then what?

I believe … in the direct hiring of 15 million unemployed Americans at $40,000 a head…

Remember, I told you this guys isn’t smart. iPads contributing to the unemployment rate.

So yes, Jesse wants to hire 15 million people at $40k a pop. Guess what THAT does to the unemployment rate? It SKY-rockets. Everyone under $40,000, or even those at some marginal value higher than $40,000, will become unemployed over-night.

Every blessed one of ’em.

Now, what I would do instead of listening to the not-smart Rep from Illinois, is declare everyone on unemployment to be an employee. And make ’em work.

Jackson Jr. is equating today’s Congress with the Confederacy. Therefore Obama would be justified in circumventing the Congress. This man would be dangerous if he ever got real power. It sounds like he wants the President to outlaw Congress and declare a dictatorship.

The other part, the government hiring 15 million at $40, 000 per year is so stupid that even other Democrats will not listen.

” Though I worry that him planting the flag this far Left, makes the other loons look like moderates in comparison. ”

Like President Obama ? I am always interested in the way people with different outlooks than me, perceive things and then frame the debate . Liberals cannot admit that under Obama their economic ideas failed . So it must be something else. Obama is really a middle of the road, nice guy who gave into the Republicans too easily . I am dead sure Jackson junior sees it that way .
